Chef's Note
For the best texture, be sure to use rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel-cut oats. You can customize each jar with different toppings to prevent breakfast boredom throughout the week. Try adding a tablespoon of nut butter or a drizzle of honey just before serving for extra flavor. These jars will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them perfect for busy weekday mornings.

Ingredients
2.5 cups rolled oats
5 tablespoons chia seeds
2.5 tablespoons ground flaxseed
2.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
1.25 cups Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
1.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon salt
1.25 cups fresh berries (mixed)
2 medium sliced banana
0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts)
0.25 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups rolled oats, 5 tablespoons chia seeds, and 2.5 tablespoons ground flaxseed. Mix well to distribute ingredients evenly.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1.25 cups Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 1.25 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until smooth and well combined.
- 3
Pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are fully incorporated and moistened.
- 4
Divide the mixture evenly among 5 mason jars or airtight containers (approximately 3/4 cup per jar).
- 5
For each jar, create a layer of mixed berries (about 1/4 cup per jar) on top of the oat mixture.
- 6
Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soften and flavors to develop.
- 7
When ready to serve, top each jar with sliced banana (about 1/3 of a banana per jar), 1-2 tablespoons of chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
- 8
Enjoy cold straight from the refrigerator, or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if you prefer a less chilled breakfast.
